RISK MANAGEMENT “TIP OF THE WEEK”
Ten Questions Every Pastor Should Be Asking About Church Safety & Security

1.      Have I appointed a person or committee to oversee all safety, security and risk management issues for the Church?
2.      Have we allocated funds to education our team and members and implement adequate safeguards?
3.      Is our church facility, members and personnel secure at all times?
4.      Do we have written policies and procedures for safety, security, risk management and personnel (paid and volunteer)?
5.      Is someone responsible to routinely inspect the facilities and document the inspection?
6.      Do we screen (background, reference, and sexual predator) all staff and volunteers that have contact with minors?
7.      Do we have an emergency response plan for all emergencies, and have they been tested?
8.      Has the staff been trained on respective roles regarding emergencies, allegations, sexual misconduct and harassment, and hazardous activities?
9.      Do I recognize that by not having safety, security and risk management practices and procedures in place, I am putting the entire ministry of the church at risk?
10. Am I willing to commit the time, energy and resources necessary to make sure I am a good steward of the people, property and resources God has entrusted to my car?
